Ali Chuk, AZ
Ali Chuk, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ali Chuk sits at the 57th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 114 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ali Chuk at the 52nd national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
114 buildings are counted in Ali Chuk, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Ali Chuk compares
Inside Arizona, Ali Chuk sits at just the 24th percentile even though it scores 57th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ali Chuk ranks 13,478 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,436 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 335 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Ali Chuk's elevated rating (57th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
